Another £6.25 in my pot this week. I hope everyone is staying safe and well. We had a busy week last week as we were doggy sitting my DD's two puppies, they are absolutely adorable and I didn't want to give them back
but she insisted on picking them up on Saturday
oh well, at least our old boy is pleased to be an only dog again! Enjoy the rest of the week folks, try to get out when the sunshine arrives

Well done to everyone who’s managing to keep potting.
Normally round about Thursday I tend to pot some of my travel savings but it’s been a bit of a tight one finance-wise so not going to pot this week. Managed to pot every week so far so one week off can’t hurt too much.
I have a (possibly) mildly amusing story from this week. Don’t read on if you’re about to have your tea.... I was in Tesco shopping and there was a little boy of about 2 or 3 in a trolley, offering his Dad something green from his nose. His Dad was trying to pretend it wasn’t happening, which I can very much relate to from certain times my own little treasure was of a similar age. I said to the little boy how nice it was to offer his Dad a present - at which point he offered the present to me!! Made me and his Dad laugh anyway
Keep well everyone, and have a good rest of week and weekend.27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 53 -

Morning Pottersssssssssss
£33 went in the pot yesterday after managing to cash out on Prolific 3 times in a week! Still throwing dribbs and drabs in as I have them, pots are still depressingly light though
DH and I are now officially double dosed with the vaccine yayyyyy! AND we have managed to book a table for monday at a restaurant as DH has his hospital infusion that day so we figured we would get out there and support our local restaurants afterwards (and I really want someone else to cook my dinner that isn't McDonalds!)
Back into the shadows I go, hopefully to find some more penniesSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £25/£10004 -
I so nearly bought myself a nice coffee today but there was a queue so I decided to pot the cost of it instead.I hope your meal was nice @jakes-mum. It was good and a little strange to see people inside coffee shops etc when I walked along the High Street today.27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 53

Hi Potters
Can't believe another week has gone by so quickly even though I appear to have done nothing! We haven't been brave enough to go near the town yet but we have started back in our dance classes. Only 6 to 8 people in the class so quite a nice introduction to mixing with others again. I've started buying a few bits and pieces for the new arrival in September, DH rolls his eyes every time he sees me looking at baby clothes!! I remind him how often I catch him looking at classic cars
Another £6.25 in the pot this week. Stay safe and well folks and enjoy the rest of your week.
